Of all the hazards a golf course<\/a> might face, a parking lot affair by the recycling bin wasn’t exactly on the scorecard for Skylinks at Buchanan Fields in California.<\/p>\n

For the business, a public 9-hole course in East Bay, the biggest drama of the season hasn\u2019t come from a bunker or a blown putt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has come from two parked cars in the far corner of the lot, where an alleged weekly rendezvous has transformed a family-friendly fairway into the site of a full-blown soap opera.<\/p>\n

A spicy Instagram post<\/a> from the course lit up social media last week with this opening line:<\/p>\n

“To the late 30\u2019s married wife in the black car who\u2019s having a secret affair and with the guy in the smaller silver car who\u2019ve decided to using (sic) the back right corner of our Skylinks carpark to meet weekly… PLEASE STOP.”<\/p>\n

That blunt PSA, posted without names but full of implication, quickly went viral, racking up shares, memes, and speculation from curious commenters and suspicious spouses across the Bay Area and beyond.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re a family golf course \u2014 not some Jerry Springer family destruction zone,” the post concluded, before warning: “If it happens again, we\u2019ll drop the footage and watch all hell break loose.”<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the golf course\u2019s owner, a New Zealand native who goes simply by “Kiwi,” confirmed the post was very real, the footage does exist, and no, this is not a marketing stunt.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re a small, community course in Concord \u2014 not a drive-thru hookup spot for cheaters,” Kiwi said, deadpan. “This isn\u2019t the kind of hole-in-one we encourage.”<\/p>\n

According to Kiwi, staff began noticing the pattern about two months ago with the same cars, the same day of the week, and the same far corner of the lot, which sees basically zero legitimate golf traffic.<\/p>\n

“You don\u2019t park way in the back to go play a quick round,” Kiwi said. “There\u2019s no reason to be near the recycling bin unless you’re dropping off cardboard\u2026 or something else.”<\/p>\n

The maintenance crew, which starts work around 5 a.m., would routinely spot the black car and silver car pulling in one after the other.<\/p>\n

“One of our guys finally said, \u2018Here they go again \u2014 early bird smash session in the car park,\u2019 and after that we couldn\u2019t un-hear it.”<\/p>\n

It became a running joke, until it wasn\u2019t.\u00a0
\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a family space. I\u2019ve got two daughters. We\u2019ve got kids playing under the pomegranate tree 20 feet from where this was happening. At a certain point, it\u2019s just gross. Like \u2014 go to the hotel across the street. It\u2019s 100 yards away, and it has doors.”<\/p>\n

Once Skylinks posted the PSA, things got even messier. The post went viral, and the DMs flooded in.<\/p>\n

“We started getting messages from people saying, \u2018Hey, I think I know who this is. Send me the footage.\u2019 Like, no! That\u2019s not what we\u2019re doing here,” Kiwi said. “We\u2019re not here to destroy people\u2019s lives. We just want them to stop using our parking lot like it\u2019s a poorly disguised drive-in.”<\/p>\n

One man even contacted the course because his wife drives a black car and he “just wanted to be sure.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s when I knew this thing had really blown up,” Kiwi laughed.<\/p>\n

Despite all the attention, Kiwi says the footage will stay locked up \u2014 for now. “We\u2019ve got the footage, and yes, it\u2019s very clear what\u2019s going on. But no, we\u2019re not releasing it. This is still a family business, not an episode of Dateline.”<\/p>\n

Still, the viral fame has brought new attention to Skylinks, a public course with a comeback story of its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once nearly shut down, the course was revived by Kiwi after he bought it a little over a year ago. Since then, he\u2019s tripled business and turned it into a thriving community hub, he said.<\/p>\n

“We think of ourselves as a community club, not a country club,” Kiwi said. “It\u2019s full of people just learning to play, local families, and folks grabbing lunch and hitting a bucket of balls.”<\/p>\n

Kiwi, originally from New Zealand<\/a> and married to an American, personally learned how to golf at Skylinks and fell in love with the course before buying it.<\/p>\n

Though the tone of the post was cheeky, their message is serious. While Skylinks has seen some curious newcomers trying to park near the now-infamous dumpster for a photo op, Kiwi is hoping the viral attention fades and the back lot goes back to being empty.<\/p>\n

And to those still tempted to turn a 9-hole golf course into a lovers\u2019 lane?<\/p>\n

Kiwi has one piece of advice to the public: “Keep your hole-in-ones on the course, not in our car park.”<\/p>\n

But to the couple specifically, Kiwi had a little something extra.<\/p>\n

“I now know who you are. I don\u2019t know why you picked our parking lot. But what I do know is I have a very particular set of footage\u2014footage we’ve gathered over months of running this golf course. Footage that will make me a nightmare for cheaters like you.”<\/p>\n

“If you check into the hotel 100 yards away and keep it off my property, that\u2019ll be the end of it. I won\u2019t look for you, I won\u2019t pursue you. But if you do return to the car park dumpster one more time, I’ll release the footage \u2014 and it’s game over. Good luck.”<\/p>\n

Kiwi\u2019s channeling of the movie “Taken” might be tongue-in-cheek, but the message is dead serious: Hook up somewhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
